FORE School Of Management

DONATE BLOOD, SAVE LIVES

On 1^st August, 2013, team Antar, the student’s CSR committee at FSM, and Fore Sports and Cultural Division organized a blood donation camp in collaboration with Rotary Blood Bank. The event, aptly named ‘Raktdaan’, was a roaring success.  In just six hours from 12 Noon to 6pm, the students of FSM managed to donate 100 units of blood, demonstrating and reinforcing the long-held belief that FORE School of management is not just a place for academic excellence but also a nursery of compassion and social sensitivity.

Before the actual donation of blood, the potential donors were screened for the suitability of their blood through a battery of tests. It was a long and comprehensive process in itself. But the assiduity and the efficiency of the team from Rotary Blood Bank, made the tedious process worth our while. A number of willing potential donors were rejected on account of their medical history, recent intake of certain antibiotics, high or low blood pressure and so on, but no one can fault their enthusiasm and pure compassion.

The blood donation process was conducted inside a fully equipped specialized bus, parked at the staff parking lot, inside the college premises. Students kept pouring in as and when their classes got over and also in the breaks between the classes.

The blood donors were provided with snacks, mementos and certificates testifying to their contribution to the event, after the process was over. All in all it was a satisfying and enriching experience for all parties involved- the donors, the organizers and the volunteers, and one can rest assured that the success story of ‘Raktdaan’ will be written in golden words in the annals of Fore School of Management.
